What's the meter value of this VG track?


Recommended Posts

Although I've heard this song many times, I don't know what the rhythm is. I have never heard a song with this kind of pattern, which is part of why I love it so much.

I can count in threes and sixes while keeping the time. The patterns seem to be 2 sets of 6; the notable change goes: (first) 1-2-3-4-5-6 (second) 1-2-3-4-5-6. The breaks throw me off sequentially, though not rhythmically.

Interesting.

Sounds like 6/4 throughout to me. The break at 0:44 has a 3/4 feel to it, but you could also count that as 6/4, I suppose.

Yeah, I listened to it again and heard four patterns of six instead of 2 patterns of six. Although 3 and 6 are rational to one another, throughout the song the breaks are shortened to three while the verses are expanded to six, similar to how some some 4/4 songs have 2/4 breaks.

Yeah, I broke that down.
